Police are on the lookout for a suspect who robbed a CVS at gunpoint early Thursday morning.

The masked man was caught on surveillance tape entering the Rte. 135 convenience store around 2:46 a.m. and pointing a gun at an employee pricing items.

The suspect forced the employee behind the counter and directed the person to empty the cash registers, police said. The robbery lasted around three minutes, said Natick Lt. Brian Grassey, and the man fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.

Officers from Natick, Sherborn and the state police searched the area but were unable to find the robber.

Nobody was injured, according to police. A supervisor at the store around noon on Thursday said she couldn't discuss the incident.

Police described the man as being in his 30s, white, under 5'9'', and having no discernible accent. He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, light-colored pants, a ski mask and orange glasses at the time of the robbery.

Police are asking anyone with information that could help identity the suspect to call their detective division at 508-647-9520. Natick also has an anonymous online reporting system on the department's website: www.natickpolice.com.
